Oakland County Condemnation Attorney

Eminent domain or
condemnation refers
to the power
possessed by the
state over all
property within the
state, specifically
its power to
appropriate property
for a public use. In
Michigan the state
may work with
private companies,
typically utilities,
to bring eminent
domain actions to
run telephone,
power, water, or gas
lines. Under the
United States and
Michigan
Constitutions, the
owner of any
appropriated land is
entitled to
reasonable
compensation,
usually defined as
the fair market
value of the
property.
Proceedings to take
land under eminent
domain are typically
referred to as
"condemnation"
proceedings.
